When changing light bulbs, the critical factor is to make sure that the light bulb (or bulbs) inserted into a light fixture or lamp does not exceed the maximum wattage rating of the fixture. This requires you to inspect the light socket itself to identify its maximum wattage rating and choose a light bulb that is equal to, or less than, this rating. And with fixtures that have multiple bulbs, you need to make sure that the total combined wattage of the bulbs does not exceed the maximum wattage rating of the light fixture or lamp.😜 Stay tuned for tomorrow's discussion on the Origin of the Universe.

Don't forget those who go off on a tangent with comments about Edison, lumens, the use of LEDs, color temperature, what brand ladders are the best, etc. ...
